The Oklahoma Public Fleet Management Association (OPFMA) is hosting its first annual convention on Sept. 22 at the City of Tulsa Police Headquarters building. The goal of the meeting is for fleet professionals to come together, share best practices, collaborate on ideas, and resolve problems.
The association’s first annual convention follows its revival in late 2013. Earlier this year, the group selected its leaders, adopted its articles of incorporation, and selected a logo.
